Pope Leo XIV<\/a> said Saturday that remarks he made this week in which he said the “world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants” were not directed at President Donald Trump, a report said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pope, speaking onboard a flight to Angola during his 10-day Africa tour<\/a>, said reporting about his comments “has not been \u200caccurate in all its aspects” and his speech “was \u2060prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting,” according to Reuters.<\/a><\/p>\n

The news outlet cited the pope as saying his comments were not aimed at Trump.<\/p>\n

“As it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate the president, which is not in \u200bmy interest at all,” the pope reportedly said.<\/p>\n

’60 MINUTES’ ACCUSED OF USING LEFT-LEANING CARDINALS TO BAIT TRUMP INTO FEUD WITH VATICAN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump last Sunday accused Pope Leo XIV<\/a> of being “terrible” on foreign policy as the pontiff\u00a0has criticized\u00a0the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.<\/p>\n

“He talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump Administration, but doesn\u2019t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church<\/a>, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want a Pope who thinks it\u2019s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

POPE LEO SLAMS THOSE WHO ‘MANIPULATE RELIGION’ FOR MILITARY OR POLITICAL GAIN, TRUMP RESPONDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During a speech in Cameroon on Thursday,<\/a> the pope said, “We must make a decisive change of course \u2014 a true conversion \u2014 that will lead us in the opposite direction, onto a sustainable path rich in human fraternity.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters!” he added.<\/p>\n

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth,” the pope also said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
